agh!!

agh!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What a night and what a morning! I've had to evacuate my home and pack the important stuff minus my Porsche!!!!!

Im in north San Diego county... and currently at work. It was at first, a pre-cautionary thing.. but they did eventually evacuate Poway. SOB... I haven't slept and just waiting.

Most importantly, my family is safe and are with me currently. Just needed to vent. Hope the house survives ( and my car ) . Good luck to anyone in socal affected .

{Patrick

Patrick, this is terrible news!

How is the family doing? My best to all of you! Let me know if there is any way I can help.

Our prayers are with you and your family.

Why did you leave the car at home?

I am at home in Carlsbad, watching the fires all around us.

Hope all remain safe and don't forget to bing the cat (or dog!).

James... we are okay. Thank you for the prayers and help. We will be okay but this is a very draining situation as you can imagine. My dad and bro are out of town...

I left the car cause i had to drive the suv full of '' valuables''. The box is covered under insurance. I have a feeling that our neighborhood will be okay... a feeling at least.

ay yay yay

I hope all ends well for you and your family. It's pretty incredible to watch on CNN. I can't imagine what it's like to be there. I'll say a prayer. Be safe.

thank you guys for all the support. In a stressful time, the forum is a way to get away from everything that is happening. So far we're okay. Staying at my brothers apt. as of now. Waiting game is the worst, and feeling helpless is just as bad.

It sure does put the problems we usually discuss in perspective - even the dreaded IMS failure. Good luck, Patrick. I'm glad you and your family are safe.
